Because of this, travelers are always looking for ways to save a buck or two. One way to do this is to bring your own snacks on board planes. However, beware: although TSA has relaxed many of its security measures, like removing your shoes, there is still a strict rule about bringing liquids onto a plane. Here's how to avoid a hassle at the Bismarck or any North Dakota airport.

Confusion about which foods are considered a liquid with the TSA.

The problem is that many people don't realize which snacks are considered liquids by the TSA. According to TheStreet, there are numerous snacks that are considered liquids, and you must make sure they are under 3.4 ounces if you wish to get them on your flight. That's not very much when you think about it. So, before you get ready for that very expensive holiday flight you may have planned this year, let's take a look at 7 snack items that are frequently confiscated by TSA from airline travelers at U.S. airports.

The 7 snack items frequently snatched from passengers by the TSA. (Considered liquids)

(Again, if you can get the following in containers of 3.4 ounces or less, you'll be okay)

#1 Salsa (I love my Village Hot Salsa too)

#2 Honey (Perfect for that bagel you're bringing on board)

#3 Hummus (Personally not a fan)

#4 Peanut Butter

#5 Creamy Cheeses

#6 Pudding

#7 Yogurt

These 7 food items are restricted to 3.4 ounces or less because they are considered liquids. If you stick to hard foods like candies, potato chips, and pretzels, you are good to go, and no restrictions on size.
